Diving into colorful watercolor sets this morning and creating the August edition of “Postcards from the Dimple of the Universe,” a subscription service I offer where subscribers receive a signed 5x7 print of an original watercolor depicting a scene from middle Tennessee, a handwritten note, and a brief history of the painting’s subject … all in a colorful envelope and matching US Postal Stamp delivered each month right to your mailbox. I love incorporating art, history, and the lost art of letter writing in one service and I love how it enhances the “slow living” aesthetic. Subscribe through my Etsy shop “Dimple of the Universe.” Link in profile. #paintingwithsusan #artforsalebyartist #colorfulandcharmingart #doingwhatilove #nostalgicimpressionism #artist #allaprima #banjo #watercolorpainting #happycreativelife #dailypainting #colorful2021 #bluegrass #carriagehousestudio #windyacrecottage #chasinglight #sejpaints #learntopaintin5steps #artandsoul #inspiration #creativity #ohtheplaceswewillgo #adventureawaits #slowliving #smithvilletn #fiddlersjam (at Carriage House Studio of Windy Acre Cottage) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRwTStYBt5r/?utm_medium=tumblr

One of the many things I love about gardens and gardeners is how generous they are. Most of my flowers were gifted to me from other gardeners who were running out of space when their plants started taking over. Just these beautiful Lenten roses were a gift from Clare and Price Keller. How I LOVE their garden!! #garden #handpicked #windyacrecottage #southernliving #lentenrose #cottagestyle #countryliving #inspiration #flashesofdelight #cottagecore #cottagecharm #flowers #simplepleasures #prettyporchesandpatios #inthegardentoday #freshfromthegarden #homesweethome #recreatingeden #eden #shadegarden (at Carriage House Studio of Windy Acre Cottage) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcNqK_JO5Is/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Pink” daffodils, to me, look more peach-colored. Or is it just this variety? Really does not matter because I love them all. The bulbs of these beauties were a gift from friend Linda Franklin. They couldn’t be prettier. #garden #handpicked #windyacrecottage #southernliving #cottageliving #cottagestyle #countryliving #inspiration #flashesofdelight #romantichomes #cottagecharm #flowers #simplepleasures #prettyporchesandpatios #inthegardentoday #freshfromthegarden #homesweethome #recreatingeden #eden #pink #pinkdaffodils #daffodils #stillblooming #cottagecore (at Carriage House Studio of Windy Acre Cottage) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcNprylu0Pq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Quince, also known as Japonica, is one of my favorite flowers at Windy Acre Cottage. It did not disappoint this year. I’ve collected several handfuls of petals to make a batch of lovely, homemade watercolor. It’s the abundance of blossoms that give me permission to experiment with a few. I wouldn’t dare sacrifice a tulip or pink daffodil. Having so few, they are too precious. #windyacrecottage #garden #handpicked #quince #southernliving #cottageliving #cottagestyle #countryliving #inspiration #flashesofdelight #romantichomes #cottagecharm #flowers #simplepleasures #japonica #inthegardentoday #freshfromthegarden #homesweethome #recreatingeden #eden #cottagecore #darling (at Carriage House Studio of Windy Acre Cottage) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcNo7VaOx2M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
